Information systems and technologies play an important role in sustainable development. This course aims to expose students to the challenges that management information systems pose to sustainable development. Then, students will acquire new knowledge, develop new skills and learn concrete approaches for advancing sustainable development through the use of information systems and technologies. Sustainability requires new ways of thinking and problem-solving, thus the course adopts an active learning environment in which frequent participation and strong commitment is required from students, regardless of whether they follow the course in class or at a distance. Students who have already attended SIO-6054 cannot enroll in this course.
